Myopericytoma-An Alternate Cause of Persistent Knee Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Myopericytoma-An Alternate Cause of Persistent Knee Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis. J Assoc Physicians India. 2018 Mar;66(3):83-85 Authors: Sohliya L, Mathew J, Ishitha G, Panwar J, Jacob KM Abstract Rheumatoid Arthritis can present with consistent pain over peripheral joints. The manner of presentation of a subcutaneous tumour such as Myopericytoma may be very similar to that of an inflamed joint leading to the high frequency of it being overlooked and inadequately treated. Knowing the radiological and pathological differences will direct us in the right road to timely and adequate treatment. PMID: 30341880 [PubMed - in process]
